“As women in this industry, it’s incredibly important that we take the time to gather, exchange dialogue, and be real-world examples of leadership,” said Carol Campbell, founder of Women in CT. “CEDIA is a great backdrop to do exactly that, and this year’s luncheon is an incredible opportunity to hear from Lisa and how she’s leaving her mark.”
